#111 Lucky Number Hat

"Worked sideways around the brim to fit the future wearer," says Neatby. "The brim may be deep (to cover ears) or shallow (with earflaps). The top is knitted up around the brim and worked in garter stitch for warmth and great fit. Optional earflap directions are given. Suits any yarn or head size. Three supporting You Tube videos will be available shortly. This design really suits yarns with long colour gradations or short abrupt colour changes." Or indeed any yarn at all. Gauges below are estimates only; follow the instructions to ascertain your personal gauge. Wonderfully versatile, and if you don't already know how to build in the I-cord edging on a strip of garter as you go, it will change your knitting life.
